HEIRLOOM TOMATO AND FETA SALAD

Heirloom Tomato and Feta Salad image

This is a fresh, flavorful salad with heirloom tomatoes. Even my non tomato-eating husband likes this recipe. We went out to dinner for tapas one night and they had a similar salad. I came home and recreated it with my own twist. We loved it, I hope you do too. I'm sure this will work with regular tomatoes too.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
ground black pepper to taste
2 ears fresh corn, shucked
4 large heirloom tomatoes
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
¼ cup fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Steps:

Whisk oil, vinegar, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper for vinaigrette together in a small bowl; set aside.
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add corn, cover, and steam until just slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
While the corn is steaming, core each tomato and cut crosswise into 4 thick slices.
Carefully remove corn from the pot and remove kernels by running a knife down the sides of the ears.
Place one tomato slice on each of 4 plates. Drizzle with vinaigrette (using up about 1/3). Top with a little feta cheese and onion, then sprinkle with corn kernels, basil, and chives. Continue layering the ingredients, ending with a tomato slice, herbs, and cheese to garnish.
Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
